Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cream of Wheat (instant or regular)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 large egg (beaten)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, Cream of Wheat, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits of butter.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and beaten egg until smooth.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spoon or spatula just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender biscuits.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently 2-3 times to bring it together, then pat or roll the dough out to a 1-inch thickness.
Using a round biscuit cutter (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter), cut out as many biscuits as possible. Re-roll the scraps if needed to make additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
